How can a vendor guarantee that professional development offered (whether onsite in a school or district or in another location such as a hotel) will be approved for renewal credit?
In short, you can’t. Approval of professional development experiences for renewal credit is a decision made by the local board of education (the local school district). While districts have entered into an agreement with the Department of Public Instruction and under the guidance and authority of the Department have established minimum criteria for renewal credit, local boards of education may establish criteria above and beyond what the Department requires.
